I thought OP was asking about how to get hired at 72 years of age. 🙄

Once you get to 71, you keep going one more. If you hit 73, you missed it. Turn around.

I don't think CD1 works for 72. We mainly don't hire self satisfied jerks who mock people for sounding young on the internet. If you have good work just contact one of our internal recruiters. Use LinkedIn to figure out who. We're growing (in NYC).

Jk, But yeah so I pursued the shit out of 'em and talked to as many people as possible and also kept asking for feedback until I finally got an opportunity. But I also came in at a junior level, so my methods may not work as well for mid level, not a 100% sure.

OP--you're off to a good start with the language you're using in your post. You sound like someone gen x or younger. Try to keep wowing them with your writing in that tone of voice for as long as possible before you have to show your face. Good luck!

I'm trying to find the internal recruiter for the NY office on LinkedIn but no luck so far. 😳

☝️ start with any recruiter from 72, hopefully they can connect you with the right office.

Hi everyone, I am 4.9 years experienced , I joined Fractal 3 months ago as a data engineer, but still haven't got any project. Process is so slow that I have received only 4 to 5 project calls. I switched in hopes that will learn the new tech and tools. But now i am starting to forget even the one i knew. Should i go for change or wait a little more time as fractal is reputed in AI/ML? I have interview lined up with Impetus as for now. Would it be better choice?

Currently in finance ops group at a PE shop in Canada. In late stages of interview process w GS in NYC for similar role but at the Associate level. All indications point to an offer being imminent but I have concerns with 1) title (junior VP’s in the group have +1/-1 YOE than me, 2) base feels a bit light given I have 9+ YOE (job description says top end is US$160K)…Nervous for a change as current role is very comfy but nothing ever grows in comfort zones. Thoughts?
